The Donald Trump administration may lift sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), according to the New York Times. As the newspaper emphasizes, the potential lifting of sanctions will be part of Washington's efforts to improve relations with Moscow and resolve the conflict in Ukraine. RDIF is already involved in organizing the supply of diesel fuel to the US, and the head of the funds, Kirill Dmitriev, serves as the Kremlin's economic envoy and participates in talks with the US negotiators.
